I recently began grilling and baking shrimp in foil packets. It’s just too easy not to! This basic recipe for Lemon Garlic Foil Packet Shrimp is so quick, easy, and fun to make, and is quite the little crowd pleaser. If you enjoy entertaining guests, you can whip these shrimp up lickety split and use them as an appetizer, or include them in any main entree or side dish of your choosing.
You can prepare shrimp in foil by either grilling or baking it. I have included instructions for both methods in this post. The best part about this recipe, is it only requires a handful of basic ingredients, likely most of which you already have right in your home.
Shrimp, butter, garlic, dried or fresh parsley, a squirt of lemon juice, and possibly some red pepper flakes if that’s your jam…is all you need for this recipe. Along with one sheet of foil.

How to Make Lemon Garlic Foil Packet Shrimp on the Grill:
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Peel and de-vein your raw shrimp if they aren’t already. Place the shrimp in the center of a long sheet of foil. Add the butter, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes (if you’re okay with some heat).
Fold the foil into a packet and place on the preheated grill. Replace the cover and grill until shrimp are cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
How to Bake Shrimp in Foil Packets:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay a long sheet of foil on a baking sheet, and place all ingredients in the center of the foil packet.
Fold the foil into a packet and leave on the baking sheet.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve the shrimp as is for an appetizer, or serve with crostini and goat cheese. You can use the shrimp in quesadillas, on pizza, in pasta, burritos, tacos, you name it! You can also serve them with your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy these lumps of buttery garlicky lovin’!
